Anita Judith Ogurlu 16 February 2016 2 Abstract This thesis examines the life and work of a little-known interwar period German writer Lilo Linke. Documenting individual and social evolution across three continents, her self-reflexive and autobiographical narratives are like conversations with readers in the hope of facilitating progressive change. With little tertiary education, as a self-fashioned practitioner prior to the emergence of cultural studies, Linke’s everyday experiences constitute ‘experiential learning’ (John Dewey). Rejecting her Nazi-leaning family, through ‘fortunate encounter[s]’ (Goethe) she became critical of Weimar and cultivated hope by imagining and working to become a better person, what Ernst Bloch called Vor-Schein. Linke’s ‘instinct of workmanship’, ‘parental bent’ and ‘idle curiosity’ was grounded in her inherent ‘spirit of insubordination’, terms borrowed from Thorstein Veblen.

In studying the history of motion pictures, we will take into account not only the major figures who influenced their development both technologically and aesthetically, but also the cultural influences, politics, and economic factors that helped shape them. We will consider the development of motion pictures as a narrative form, cultural commodity, political object, art form, and avenue of escapist entertainment. One of the keys emphases in the class will be the historical intersections of various sites of cultural production (movies, television, advertising, censorship, political propaganda, etc.) and how they influence and shape each other. Because the breadth of international film history far exceeds what can be covered in a single semester, this course will focus most heavily on the history of film in the United States, although we also look at various historical moments in the Soviet Union, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, and Poland.

  • Neorealism and Magic Realism in Cinema
    Neorealism and Magic Realism in Cinema Italian Neorealism is one of the most influential, visually distinctive and thematically challenging wave in the history of cinema. The worldwide turmoil that shaped the neorealistsʼ visions then, can be traced in every aspect of the films produced during the very short time neorealism went on. The revolutionary changes and possibilities this wave emerged led other genres and waves to be born, like French New Wave. This course aims to focus on the Italian Neorealism, the thematic and stylistic aspects of the wave by analysing the films of the most significant directors of the time. Once the roots of the Neorealism is fully established and the means and ways are absorbed, the course will shift to discover the magic realism that replaced realism in the European cinema of 1950s. The course will get to the root of the magical realism and similar tendencies in the cinema and the literature that procreated the magic realism definition in the first place. The course will also feed from Surrealism and Psychological Realism. During the semester, substantial works of literature and painting will be visited in order to get a broader understanding of different approaches of realism. Course Requirements: The course will be carried out with a series of discussions every week and to participate to the discussions in class, every student must watch the film (or films) of the week. Being a participator in the class is the most important requirement of the course. :::Attention::: • The course starts on the first week, and although the first two weeks are ʻadd-dropʼ weeks, if you miss a class even in the beginning of the course, please drop the course, or donʼt take it in the first place.

  • FM 271 the Films of Wim Wenders
    FM 271 The Films of Wim Wenders Seminar Leader: Matthias Hurst Email: [email protected] Office Hours (P 98, Room 003): Tuesday, 13.30 – 15.00, or by appointment Course Times: Friday, 14.00 – 17.15; Wednesday, 19.30 – 22.00 (weekly film screening) Course Description Wim Wenders is one of Germany’s best known and most prolific filmmakers. He was a major representative of New German Cinema and the so-called Autorenfilm in the 1970s and 1980s, and an important artistic voice for the post-war generation. In addition, he became a celebrated figure in international cinema, making films in locations all over the world, and contributing to the genre of documentary as well as the development of the feature film. As film historians have noted, Wenders is notoriously difficult to classify in terms of cultural traditions or cinematic movements; thus exploring Wenders’s development as filmmaker implies looking at different aesthetic and narrative approaches to cinema, from auteur cinema to modern and postmodern film. His two most famous works Paris, Texas (1984), set in the desolate American West, and Wings of Desire (1987), a gripping portrait of the divided city of Berlin, encapsulate his wide-ranging scope and experimental power. We will consider these two works within Wim Wenders’s career, which includes Alice in the Cities (1974), Kings of the Road (1976), The American Friend (1977), The End of Violence (1997), Buena Vista Social Club (1999), The Million Dollar Hotel (2000), Land of Plenty (2004), Don’t Come Knocking (2005), Every Thing Will Be Fine (2015), Submergence (2017).
